11 Let s do some math! Look at the weight and gender of the person. Calculate how much alcohol they have had in how many hours and try to figure out what his or her BAC is! 120 pound Amanda goes to a Christmas party where she has 2 mixed drinks in the first hour and 3 beers the second hour. She is 22 years old. Legally, should she drive home? After the first 2 drinks, Amanda is already at the legal limit of.08! During the second hour, she metabolizes.015, but she has 3 beers (.11). TOTAL BAC after 2 hours=.175

12 Matt Male 180 pounds 4 Beers and 1 shot in 1 hour An hour later, what is his BAC? After 4 beers, his BAC is. 08. After the shot it is.11. He waits an hour to drive home. BAC when driving home is.095. And hour after he gets home it is still. 08.

16 Evading arrest/ Resisting arrest Resisting arrest: attempting to flee from police officers, fighting against the arrest with physical force or by threatening an officer, or attacking law enforcement officials. Normally, this is a misdemeanor crime, but if you use a deadly weapon such as a gun, you can be charged with a felony. Evading arrest: a more serious version of resisting arrest. You may attempt to flee from an officer on foot or in a vehicle. The level of your crime escalates with the amount of effort that you put into your escape. For instance, using a motor vehicle can lead to a felony. If anyone is hurt in the process, you may be charged with a third degree felony. In Texas, these two crimes can span from class A misdemeanors to second degree felonies. The consequences of these charges can be significant.
